MLA CFP

I went and very much enjoyed MLA.

Here’s a CFP that might be right up your alley:

cfp: MLA 2011– Collaborative Session on Rethinking Style in Rhetoric and Composition
full name / name of organization:
Rhetoric Society of America/Division on the Teaching of Writing
contact email:
jjack@email.unc.edu

Title of session: Rethinking Style
Submission requirements: 250 word abstracts.
Deadline for submissions: 1 Mar. 2010

Co-sponsored with the Division on Teaching of Writing.

Although “style” was one of the five canon’s of ancient rhetoric and a key part of rhetorical pedagogy, today many scholars worry that the field has paid less attention to this canon than it might. Drawing on ancient and/or contemporary rhetorical theories, papers should consider how to reinvigorate the study and teaching of style in the field of rhetoric and composition.
